Question

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST! PLS HELP! A 6-sided die with sides numbered 1 through 6 is tossed. A penny is then tossed. If the penny comes up heads, the value of the die is multiplied by 2. Otherwise, the value of the die is left unchanged.
What is the probability that the outcome is less than 6?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{7}{12} = 0.5833$ = 58.33% probability that the outcome is less than 6

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

For the penny there are two outcomes, and for the die there are 6. So 2*6 = 12 total outcomes.

If the penny is tails, there are 5 outcomes which are less than 6. If it is heads, as the value is multiplied by 2, only 2 values of the die(1 or 2) will be below 6 after being multiplied by 2. So 5 + 2 = 7 total outcomes

What is the probability that the outcome is less than 6?

$p = \frac{7}{12} = 0.5833$

$\frac{7}{12} = 0.5833$ = 58.33% probability that the outcome is less than 6
